Name three most critical subjects or influences on Nietzsche one should read to better understand him. Not interested in commentaries on Nietzsche after the fact.
Are there any prerequisites or can I just hop right in? (I started with the greeks dont worry)

>kant

>schopenhauer
You can get the gist from his essays right? The World as Will and Representation is more than 1000 pages. Be more specific.
>didnt understand critique of pure reason
No worries. Little to understand there anyway.
When did Bale play Christ? What film is that?
Mary, Mother of Jesus (1999)
Now give your recommendations or I will impose my will on your ass.
It's not a film, it's a kino(because of Bale)
I wouldn't know. I dont consoom any moving pictures besides gifs and pron.
i dint get the meme pic.

Wtf I didn’t know Christian Bale played christ
Jesus is the decadent middle class do-good slave morality revolutionary and the pope is the master morality machiavellian leading the greatest brain washing, psychological and soul-controlling, and political institution the ancient world has ever seen.
What a visceral way to describe something
revolution is inherently anti slave morality
Not if someone else manipulates you into revolting for his agenda, and you get discarded afterwards.
>revolution is inherently anti slave morality
You are a moron who hasn't actually read Nietzsche. Both the protestant reformation and the French Revolution were slave revolts in morality, according to Nietzsche:
>At any rate, there took place in the Renaissance a brilliantly sinister revival of the classical ideal, of the aristocratic judgement of all things: Rome herself stirred, like a man awakened from a trance, under the force of the new Judaic Rome that had been built over her, which presented the appearance of an ecumenical synagogue and was called the ‘Church’; but immediately Judaea triumphed again, thanks to that fundamentally popular (German and English) movement born of resentment that is called the Reformation, and taking also into account its inevitable corollary, the restoration of the Church – the restoration also of the ancient sepulchral silence of classical Rome.
>In a sense that was even more crucial and even more profound, Judaea proved yet once more victorious over the classical ideal in the French Revolution; the last political aristocracy that existed in Europe, that of the French in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, collapsed in the conflict with the instincts of a resentful populace – never had the world heard greater jubilation or witnessed more unrestrained exuberance!
Slave morality is not acting like a slave. In fact, a slave who accepted his fate would be affirming a master morality. Thinking slavery is bad and should be stopped is slave morality.
I can give post-requisites. Valium or Xanax, and Cioran.
>He [Nietzsche] demolished so many idols only to replace them with others: a false iconoclast, with adolescent aspects and a certain virginity, a certain innocence inherent in his solitary’s career. He observed men only from a distance. Had he come closer, he could have neither conceived nor promulgated the superman, that preposterous, laughable, even grotesque chimera, a crotchet which could occur only to a mind without time to age, to know the long serene disgust of detachment.
My advice to beginning students of Nietzsche is: if you want to
understand what Nietzsche is really concerned with, what
forms the essential background against which his work
should be studied, do not read Kant (or Hegel), but study the
real history of what was happening in the 19th century in
Central Europe and spend the three or four years you will
need to learn Greek sufficiently to follow what is going on in
an ancient text. Then start reading Homer, Hesiod, the Pre-
Socratics, early elegiac and iambic poetry, tragedy and com-
edy, Herodotus and Thuycidides, and especially Plato as sys-
tematically as you can. To read these works only in transla-
tion is pretty pointless because the modern translators gen-
erally project back into the ancient texts exactly those (later)
modern conceptions that Nietzsche is trying to get away
from. To put it another way, part of what is interesting about
these texts is precisely what the translators smooth out and
render invisible in their work. If, after reading Theognis, Plato,
and Sophocles, you still have time, read Schopenhauer and
Wagner. If, then, you still have time on your hands, it will not
hurt then to read Kant and Hegel, although I would wager
that by that time you will find nothing in them to help you
further in understanding Nietzsche.

Brainlet here, where the FRICK do I start? I've read the bible. What's next? Give me a TL;DR, an overview, < 10 names to get me up to speed
Holy shit. That dude is about to jack off isn't he? they literally predicted me.
What would Nietzsche say? Would he say you should read philosophers and theologians?
The pre-socratics, Schopenhauer (you might understand better if you read Kant), Spinoza
Wagner
Shopenhauer
Greeks
